About

Oliver Peters *1970
Actively involved in electronic music since the
early 1990s. Releases and performances of
electroacoustic music since 2002 as EVAPORI.

His compositions are based on diverse concrete sound
sources: field recordings, processed found sound,
self built objects and special treatment of acoustic
instruments like cello and piano.
These elements are carefully interwoven, building multipe
structures between harmonic minimalism and concrete
noise. the music of EVAPORI is atmospheric, yet complex
and unpredictable.

Together with Nicolas Wiese ([-Hyph-]), Peters established
the record label AIC in 2002. He has contributed music to
the short scientific film E 2250, and a composition to Satoshi
Morita’s Klanghelm (Sonic Helmet) project. His Rehearsals for
Objects CD (1000füssler, 2008) was broadcast by Deutschland-
radiokultur. Transkript 18 was awarded second prize in the
Prix Jeu des Temps 2009.

About Transkript 17 / Transkript 18

“The source material for these recordings, produced between
2007 and 2009, originates from found objects and treated
acoustic instruments such as cello, viola, double bass*, bass
clarinet**, as well as conga, cymbal, wood, paper, marbles,
wallpapering table and chains. Further sounds have been
produced using my voice and limbs.

A basic rule for my work with digital tools is to maintain the
liveliness of the source material within the structure of my
compositions. Yet, the newly created elements of sound differ
considerably from the original recordings.”
